Reply #56: The current American regime most definitely follow the Bible. [View All]

Raping and pillaging, taking slaves, forcing women to marry you, these things are all ordered by God in the Bible.
God ordered his chosen people to wipe out town after town killing everyone in them but a few pretty virgins to keep for their own use. We have the example of Sodom and Gomorrah to show that God was quite happy to use something like a nuke to wipe out all those who were not behaving as he wanted.

The humiliating mistreatment of captives was also covered in the Bible.
Isaiah 20:2-3 "And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and Ethiopia; So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt."

In biblical tradition, gang-rape and murder are fine so long as they don't involve homosexual sex.
From Judges 19: "Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, "Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him." The owner of the house went outside and said to them, "No, my friends, don't be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don't do this disgraceful thing. Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But to this man, don't do such a disgraceful thing." ... So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. ... When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts ...

And we have incest too, with Lot insisting afterwards that he was drunk, it was not his fault, his daughters made him do it.

Buschco have shown a distinct preference for a tax code that is completely in accord with Matthew 25:29.
"For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." You can see that sentiment carefully incorporated into every decision they make.

For as long as the American people accept that laws should be based on Christianity, Buschco will feel free to follow whichever parts of the long-winded, self-contradictory piece of fiction that suit them. We must stop being superstitious savages blinded by theocracy, and once more, as the founding fathers intended, base our laws and customs on rational decisions as to how the country can best be served while caring for the people and protecting their rights.
